	Condor Missile
		The Condor I was meant for developing a rocket engine and to probably use this rocket for future atmospheric research, with a peak of 300 Km and a pay load of about 400-500 Kg.
		This missile used the same fuel and had the same building characteristics as the Condor I, but actually it was an artillery tactic missile, of the chilenean RAYO, though more powerful and with greater reach.
		CONDOR II, was a two phase vehicle, with a thrust vector control system that worked through levelling canon in each phase, aerodynamic areas to control the rolling in each phase, as web.

	Condor AGM-53A
		The Condor was a long-range missile to be used for high-precision stand-off attacks.
		The missile was launched by the strike aircraft from a distance of up to 110 km (60 nm) to the general target area.
		Condor was to be used mainly by the A-6E Intruder, but the A-7 Corsair and even the F-14 Tomcat were at also considered as launch platforms.

	Jane's: Iraq's Al-Husayn Missile Program - by Carus and Bermudez, 5-1-90
		The missile that Iraq employed was an upgraded version of the 'Scud B' (original Soviet designation was R-17, but this was subsequently changed to R-300) known as the Al-Husayn.
		In some cases the missiles produced two separate explosions, and this apparently led some people in Tehran to believe that twice as many missiles were hitting the city as was actually the case.
		Since the Iranian missiles probably were fired at ranges of 150 to 200 km, giving them a CEP of 500 to 650 m, this suggests a CEP for the Al-Husayn of between 1500 and 2000 m.

	AGM-53 Condor
		The AGM-53 Condor was a Phoenix-like air-to-ground missile, weighting some 966kg at launch (including 286kg warhead), with a range of 110km and Development of the Condor missile -- which was to have carried a conventional or W73 nuclear warhead -- was canceled before becoming operational.
		As the Condor emerged, it proved to be somewhat in the same class as, and with similarities to, the AJ-168 Martel.
		However, the Condor program was cancelled in March 1976, as the Navy no longer felt it would meet their requirements, and apparently the troublesome development program had made the service gunshy.

		It is however likely that this program ended with the fall of the (Iraqi leader who waged war against Iran; his invasion of Kuwait led to the Gulf War (born in 1937)) Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.
		Testimony of scientist involved in the program suggest that this was not a serious project, but merely a diversion to please the volatile dictator.

	Articles - Ballistic missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A ballistic missile is a missile that follows a prescribed course that cannot be signifigantly altered after the missile has burned its fuel (its course is governed by the laws of ballistics).
		Long and medium range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear warheads because their payload is too limited for conventional explosives to be efficient.
		The first ballistic missile was the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany in the 1940s, which was successfully launched for the first time on October 3, 1942 and used for the first time in operation on September 8, 1944.

	Missile Defense and Missile Non-Proliferation: The Interactions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The CONDOR II/BADR 2000 was designed as a mobile two-stage missile with a separating unitary or submunitions dispensing, reentry vehicle that would have been more difficult to detect and intercept than the several SCUD variants actually used by Iraq.
		Missile nonproliferation, even though it does not prevent every kind of transfer, can prevent the export of enough hardware and technology to make offensive missiles less stressing to missile defensive systems.
		In addition, missile defenses, by increasing the cost and development time for offensive missiles and reducing their reliability, complements the efforts of missile nonproliferators to create the same headaches for the proliferators.

	Missile Programs - Brazil
		In the mid-1980s, Brazil was concerned with Argentina's Condor II ballistic missile program, which received substantial technological assistance from Europe and funding from Iraq.
		In sum, an attempt by Brazil to produce a ballistic missile is driven primarily by a search for technological autonomy, although political, security, and economic motives are also important.
		In summary, Brazil's ballistic missile program, which faces formidable constraints, is largely in the preplanning stages and not engaged in serious research and development.

	REF CONDOR DESTROID STATS
		The Condors were then used for adversary training, and for recon operations, and by the REF Marines as an air cavalry mecha.
		Consequently, many Condors were sent with the REF units in the relief missions to the Southern Cross, in the hopes that the mecha would be more useful on the home planet than in the Tirolian sectors.
		The entire cockpit canopy of the Condor is a large HUD display, which allows the computer to display large amounts of data to the pilot and even highlight enemies and missile attacks with overlaid graphics.

		The inspectors also want information on 15 missile warheads filled with biological agents and 157 aerial bombs believed to be filled with biological agents.
		Estimates of these weapons are based in part on what Iraq did with 845 Scud missiles it imported from the Soviet Union, some of which were fired during the Iran-Iraq and Gulf Wars, and some of which were converted to longer-range missiles.
		The Condor missile was an Argentine-Egyptian-Iraqi program whose technology was far superior to the Scuds.

	JINSA Online -- The International Missile Trade and Proliferation: The Case of Iraq
		The missile program was part of an extraordinarily ambitious program to create a comprehensive aerospace industry that would be capable of producing military and commercial aircraft, satellites, and space launch vehicles.
		The Iraqi missile attacks against Israel were primarily a political tactic, aimed at undermining the Allied coalition by peeling away its Arab partners.
		This accomplishment could be credited to a hard-to-duplicate combination of elements: a technically and administratively talented staff (the fact that many of them had been bought and paid for was irrelevant); unlimited funding; the incentive of a war "to the death" and the drive of a megalomaniacal and completely ruthless political leader.

		But for Iraq to be interested, the missile would have to have a much longer range, say, five times the 150-kilometer reach of Condor I. Long enough to hit Tehran, Amer Rashid said pointedly.
		Large purchases of missile technology by Argentina and Iraq would attract attention from the United States and, especially, Great Britain, since the extended-range Condor would be capable of reaching the Falkland Islands.
		Another sensitive commodity needed for the missile project was carbon phenolic fabric, which the Iraqis were seeking to manufacture flexible rocket nozzles, which could improve the missile's accuracy.

		To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his assessment of the threat posed to UK interests by the Condor missile programme; which countries have participated in it; and whether missiles developed in respect of the programme are still in position.
		While we remain extremely vigilant to the potential for ballistic missile technology proliferation, we do not consider Condor II to be a threat to UK interests.
		The Condor II ballistic missile programme developed by Argentina in partnership with a number of European technical consultants in the 1980s, was deactivated in May 1991 when Argentina acceded to the missile technology control regime.

		What it signified to Syria and the rest of the countries, besides not obtaining this military technology (it was perceived that the Condor II was superior to Scud or Badr 2000, a missile similar to the Condor) was the loss of millions of dollars.
		During these meetings between Melo and Assad, and later with Khaddam, Menem promised to deliver to Syria the Condor II missile and cooperate with the nuclear development of that country (including the assistance of Argentine experts in the development of such technology) in exchange for money to finance his presidential campaign.
		The Condor project was the most ambitious missile and military development plan favored by the Argentine Air Force after the Malvinas (Falkland Islands) war, and one in which various countries in the Middle East were interested, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, and Iraq, the four having carried on clandestine conversations on acquiring the missile.

		In effect, Commerce is telling U.S. exporters that there is a dangerous missile project in South Africa to which they must not sell anything, but they can sell all they want to the other half of the project, which happens to be in Israel.
		And while not naming Syria's medium-range missiles, it names China's medium-range "M Series Missiles," which are, again, the same thing because China is selling Syria the means to make the M Series.
		President Carlos Menem promised to cancel the Condor, but will only move it to the Argentine space program, where it can be nurtured until some future president may decide to consider it a missile again.

	Can We Defend Egypt? - Zamalek S.C. Forum
		Although these missiles had only a minimal effect upon the course of the war, the Egyptians (as well as the Israelis and Syrians) came away from that conflict with the belief that ballistic missiles would play an increasingly significant role in any future conflict in the region, at both the tactical and strategic levels.
		The Condor II is a direct descendant of an earlier Argentine program known as the Condor I. Which was begun by the Argentine Air Force during 1977-78 as a sounding rocket.
		Additionally, workmanship at the DOS Condor II facilities in Egypt is believed to have been significantly inferior to that in Iraq, and there was concern that an explosion of missile fuel would occur at the Abu Zaabal facility.[90] These Iraqi concerns came to a head during 1988, with the arrest of Helmy.

		I think that it's a question, in terms of looking at the programs that are now developing theater ballistic missiles defenses, as to whether or not they're going to be able to handle cruise missiles.
		NARRATOR: The Missile Technology Control Regime is a voluntary organization of supplier countries with advanced missile technologies who've agreed to impose very strict controls on the export of missile technology to countries of concern.
		Overall, it seems that the proponents of missile defense are advocating a costly, risky technological solution to a political problem.

		Armed with ballistic missiles carrying chemical or biological weapons that could strike US forces and allies in the Persian Gulf, Iraq tells the United States to mind its own business or else.
		NARRATOR: Ballistic missile defense is split into two elements: national missile defense designed to protect US territory against long-range ballistic missiles, and theater missile defense, or TMD, designed to protect American troops and allies in foreign military theaters such as the Persian Gulf.
		McCARTHY: In Argentina, for instance, is a great case where the Condor missile program was essentially dismantled based on US pressure, diplomatic pressure, and some pressure from allied governments, primarily the United States.

	Badr-2000 - Iraq Special Weapons
		Condor II Beginning in 1984 or 1985, Iraq started a cooperative effort with Egypt, and Argentina to develop a high-technology, two-stage missile system designed for a range of around 1,000 km, called the BADR 2000 in Iraq and Egypt and the Condor II by Argentina.
		The Commission has supervised and verified the destruction of all known items, production equipment and infrastructure directly associated with that programme.
		The Commission believes that Iraq did not acquire any technology or equipment for the production of any other aspects or components of that system, e.g., guidance and control and launchers.
